I think that's a good idea in general. Use one profile for work and  
banking, stuff the government is going to know about anyway if they  
want to.  Use a distinct profile for politics.  Cookies can carry all  
sorts of interesting information back and forth, correlating your  
activities and identity, otherwise.
